Yj will need to shop around which they have never had to or put much effort in. Many legit girls teams are popping up and are competing which pulls from talent pool. Yj will do fine against local programs but if want to compete with top elite programs outside they will need to fill many voids and on some grade levels they have eyes on outside players
But the smart ones won't come. Who wants to deal with the blatant favoritism toward some players, friends and family, politically connected, absentee coaching, complete lack of player development to name a few things. This is the single reason for the success of some of these other programs as why people are seeking other options.
I guess it depends on how you measure success. Name one club that has won anything outside of LI other than YJ? TG 2020 had a good year 2 years ago and fell apart. YJ won 2 ages at Lax for the Cure this Weekend. M&D and Heros won 2 as well. SKywalkers the other. So MD teams won 5 of the 7 and YJ won the other 2. Where are the other LI teams?
Maybe success to some is not beating MD teams but playing time, player development, less BS and just having fun. Oh and once you get past the top handful of girls on the top team there really isnt much difference.
If Player Development is occurring, than team success will follow. There is not and should not be any guarantee of playing time on club teams. The expectation is to win championships.
